Prologue

The room was quiet except for the sound of sweeping and the occasional scrubbing of windows. The four maids continued to clean the hall quietly. Each of the girls felt a letter slip into their hands. They turned and saw no one. The letters were addressed to them and their current location. Turning over the parchment and pealing open the letters they began reading.

"Hello girls. We need you to take care of something for us. Unfortunately, if you chose to deny it we will have no choice but to make sure you and your families all meet your untimely demise. We must not leave any witnesses."
